Welcome home to this completely updated, fabulous, LAKEFRONT oasis on a .62 acre lot in the desirable community of Shorewood Forest where life is like a vacation everyday. This 4 bed/4 bath home boasts 4,720 sq. ft. of refinished space with many upgrades and updates that make it unique including gorgeous lake views from nearly every new window. The solid walnut, double door entry sets the stage for the main level that features an office (with walnut built-ins), large living room, spacious dining room, a dream kitchen with large island, cafe appliances and butlers pantry that flows nicely into the open concept family room. The entire space radiates natural light with gorgeous views of Lake Louise, and bonus main floor laundry. The wrap around 2-level, Redwood deck that spans the length of the home is an entertainers dream while the wooded lot still offers a nice amount of privacy. Heading to the upper level you'll find the master bedroom and bath featuring a custom tile shower, double vanity, makeup vanity, walk in closet, and a bonus washer/dryer combo. The other two generously sized bedrooms share a full bath. Heading downstairs to the massive, finished walkout basement you will find a wet bar, 4th bedroom, and 3/4 bath. The space is outstanding for gatherings with more fabulous lake views and walkout access to the lower level deck and boat dock. The attached heated garage with epoxy floors and custom storage lift speak of the homes attention to detail. Shorewood amenities include a 230 acre sporting lake, community pool, beach, playground, volleyball, tennis, pickle ball, basketball, baseball, dog park, trails and fun events. Top it off with low taxes and 4 Star Schools. LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE!!!
